In '99, Indonesia was still mired in turmoil after the financial crisis and the anti-talk riots.

Although a year has passed, Indonesia's economy still shows no signs of improvement due to the massive outflow of Chinese funds. Coupled with the fact that tourism, a pillar industry after the riots, has been hit hard, and Indonesia is now in a recession.

Yogyakarta is a famous cultural city in Indonesia, and was once the capital of Indonesia, with the Hindu holy site of Barambanan in the northeast and the Buddhist holy site of Borobudur in the northwest. In addition, the whole city is located between volcanic belts, surrounded by a large number of volcanic groups, and is a famous tourist destination in Indonesia.

Zhou Yi holds a Singaporean passport and is visa-free to enter Indonesia, while Gracia holds a Spanish passport and also needs to apply for a visa on arrival. In contrast, Singapore's passport is more convenient than a Spanish passport in more countries around the world.

"Can you really leave your official duties and accompany me to Yogyakarta?"

Gracia smiled shyly, "I'm so lucky to have met you on my journey." ”

Zhou You's eyes are bold and unbridled, full of interest in Gracia. "I'm also lucky."

What Zhou You didn't expect was that the flight from Jakarta to Yogyakarta was a small plane with less than 100 people, and this kind of plane would be bumpy if it encountered the slightest wind current.

Sitting on such a plane, Zhou You began to regret it again. Why, the pickle girl bubbled out of the plane crash, that's not worth it!

The plane arrived in Yogyakarta, and it was not until it stopped at the airport that Zhou You's heart was completely relaxed, but the bumps during the landing made him break out in a cold sweat.

Due to the impact of the financial crisis, the national currency of the Indonesian rupiah has been depreciating. Gracia heeded Zhou You's persuasion and did not exchange for Indonesian rupiah, but exchanged a little US dollar with Zhou You.

Spending in Indonesia in US dollars is more advantageous than using their own currency, mainly because their own domestic currency is too weak.

Located in the heart of the city of Yoncakata, the hotel booked in Gracia is a foreign-related hotel for foreign tourists, and the safety is still very guaranteed.

arranged for her to stay, and Zhou You was ready to leave. "If your vacation is long enough, I look forward to enjoying your vacation in Indonesia with you......"

Gracia also said with some reluctance: "Then you can not leave at all now." ”

Zhou You was not tempted, although pickling girls is his interest, but compared with the right thing, of course, it is still important to get the girl down.

"I beg your pardon, I have to leave now, and if it goes well, I will be back the day after tomorrow to accompany you on your journey to Indonesia. By that time, you should have already visited Borobudur and Barambanan, and we could travel to beautiful Bali and enjoy the beaches there. ”

Gracia gave him a gentle hug and said, "I'm looking forward to ...... too."

Zhou You took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her slender waist and asked, "Are you looking forward to me, or are you looking forward to the beautiful scenery of Bali?" ”

Gracia struggled for a moment, gave him a blank look, leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. "I'm looking forward to it."

Zhou You replied dissatisfied, hugged her waist tightly, and kissed her on the lips. "I'll do my best to ......"

But Gracia was stunned, interrupted him and asked, "Have I allowed you to kiss me?" ”。

"I didn't think I needed your permission......"

"How can you kiss me without my permission?"

Zhou You laughed and said deliberately, "Then can I apologize?" ”。

She leaned up viciously, bit Zhou You's lip directly and kissed it. Her movements are rough and passionate, and her tongue is teasing her around.

waited for Zhou You to react and wanted to respond, but she pushed him away.

Glaring at him, he said, "We're even." ”

Hopping into a taxi to Semarang, Zhou You still licks his lips and reminisces about Gracia's enthusiasm. This chick is so tasty that he even feels like he already likes her.

After receiving a call from Yogyakarta, Pan Yuan, who was waiting for Zhou You at Semarang Airport, realized that this guy had actually run to Yogyakarta. Thankfully, he's gotten used to his unruly play.

Semarang is probably the only major city that was not damaged by the riots last year, not because there are no natives who talk back, but because the Chinese are far more stable in Semarang than in other regions.

As soon as you enter the city, you will see the streets lit up and full of Chinese celebrations.

At the agreed meeting place, a Rolls-Royce was quietly parked on the side of the road, and Zhou You got out of the taxi, the door of the Rolls-Royce was also opened, and Pan Yuan got out of the car with a young man.

"Mr. Pan, what is the celebration in Semarang? It's so lively in the city! ”

"Do you know the origin of the name of our city Semarang?". Pan Yuan shook his hand with a smile and said, "This is my boy, Pan Jinzhong." He doesn't speak Chinese very well, so you can communicate directly in English. ”

Although it is his youngest son, he is also several years older than Zhou You. However, like Pan Yuan, he is also thin like a monkey, and his body is half smaller than Zhou You.

Zhou You shook hands with him, nodded his head, and said with a smile: "I also did my homework when I came, the name Semarang came from Zheng He to the West, and Sanbao refers to Zheng He!" ”

Pan Yuan nodded and said: "The 30th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar is the holy day of Zheng He's arrival here, and every year at this time, Chinese people from all over Southeast Asia will come here to hold various celebrations and participate in temple fairs. So, you're here at the right time. ”

Zhou You smiled and said, "This is your celebration, I can't find the slightest resonance." ”

He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Maybe this is the difference between the **** kingdom and those of us who have left the country!" In your eyes, Zheng He is just a eunuch, but in our eyes, he is a god. ”

Zhou You also felt that he had said the wrong thing, and remedied it: "Look at what Mr. Pan said, can't I admit my mistake?" What's more, I'm also a Singaporean now, so don't talk about those hurtful words. ”

Pan Jinzhong asked: "How does Zhou always view last year's events?" Are we really just going to ignore it? ”。

Zhou You shook his head a little embarrassedly and said: "National feelings are actually connected, but international politics is a very complicated science, and I haven't studied it thoroughly and have no interest, so I can't make any comments." ”

He nodded and said, "You are honest and didn't say some useless words to prevaricate me." Please ......"

Pan Yuan, the old slippery head, giggles with everyone, and seems to ******** only to make money, and nothing else. But his son is different, and Zhou You also reminded himself that he can't talk in the future, otherwise, he doesn't know when he will offend people.

Just like now, people come to greet him warmly, but his unconscious words hurt their feelings, which really shouldn't be. This is still because their father and son have good personalities, and if they change to radicals, I am afraid that they will turn against themselves on the spot.

The Pan family is a well-known Chinese family in the local area, and since the Qing Dynasty, the family has gradually monopolized the local pharmaceutical production by relying on quinine production technology obtained from foreigners.

Quinine, or cinchona, has been the most effective treatment for malaria in ancient times and in the tropics today. Relying on the monopoly on the production and sales of this drug, the Pan family has become one of the most powerful families in the local area in more than 100 years of development.

Since World War II, the development of the Pan family has not been limited to quinine production, but has formed a real pharmaceutical group, and even extended its tentacles to other industries.

However, the rise and fall of a family is often not based on the resources in their hands, but more importantly on the courage and vision of the leader. The Pan family has inevitably taken some detours in its development for more than 100 years, so although it is still a big family, it has also been surpassed by many up-and-coming families.

Although they are a big family, they have fallen from the top to the second level of Indonesian Chinese families.

At present, the patriarch of the Pan family is Pan Yuan's nephew Pan Guangnian, Pan Guangnian is the grandson of the Pan family, although he is Pan Yuan's nephew, he is three years older than Pan Yuan.

In his hands, the Pan family re-emerged from a broken settlement, and now has a high prestige in the Pan family and even in the Chinese circle in Semarang. Although the current assets of the Pan family are not considered to be top-level families, they are playing an increasingly important role in other aspects, and the role they play will never be ignored by others.

This is all the information that Zhou You knows, but even from the perspective of this information, Zhou You is still only a small role in front of the Pan family.

The Rolls-Royce drove into Gangti, a suburb of Semarang, a well-known affluent area in Semarang. The car stopped at the entrance of a large villa, isolated by numerous tropical plants, and the neighbor's house was completely invisible, and the environment was very charming.

Along the way, Zhou You deliberately redeemed his mistakes when they met, flattered the Pan father and son for a few words, and chatted about some topics they were interested in.

This time, there was no need to do it, as soon as he got out of the car, two Indonesian nannies greeted him, a strong one helped Zhou You lift his luggage, and a young and beautiful one carried a basin of clean water, holding a towel and waiting for Zhou You to wash the dust.

Zhou You washed his face, wiped it with a towel, and said with a smile: "Mr. Pan, this kind of enjoyment can make me, a dirt bun, see the world today!" ”

He laughed, "Indonesia's labor is not expensive, and we Chinese are face-saving, so there is no way, everyone does this, if we don't, it will be too maverick and unsocial." Please ......"
